Basically what the title says. I’ve only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.
Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.
EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I’m going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!
Red Dead Redemption has an emotional ending.
I heard good things, but open world games intimidate me due to the length.
It’s long, but in a good way. The content isn’t drawn out and repetitive. You want to play it that long. Mostly mentioning rdr2 here which is much better.
There are a million things that you can do in the game, but you don’t have to do any of them. You can stick to the story if you want. It’s probably still a very long game though, even if you only engage in the story.
… and now I know the only compass that I need …
